You may know Mo Nuwwarah for his poker media work with PokerNews, but he's also an accomplished poker player. So much so that he won a seat into this 2019 Global Casino Championship.

It came at the WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Council Bluffs in Iowa, just across the river from Nuwwarah's hometown of Omaha. It was there that he topped a field of 563 entries to win Event #3: $400 NLH Multi-Flight before making two other final tables. Toss in a cash in the Main Event and he finished with 117.5 points in the race for Casino Champion, enough to win himself a coveted seat.

It marked Nuwwarah’s second gold ring, his first having come in August 2018 when he won the WSOP Circuit Horseshoe Hammond Event #7: $600 H.O.R.S.E. for $14,008.

Today, Nuwwarah is forgoing his usual live reporting duties to jump on the felt in pursuit of his first bracelet.
